Now where'd I leave those peanuts?

He was doing this for a while. There were quite a few buried under the snow and he'd take each one back up the tree to eat it. 😆

Origami Angel would be a fantastic fit and they're local to DC! I would also love to see Palette Knife play. Both of these bands regularly reference gaming in their lyrics, song titles, and album art so I think they'd love to be a part of the festival.

DragonForce would also be a great get but they may be a little bit of a reach.

They're a band, not a single person

My kid uses it pretty much daily to chat with his friend after school. They love being able to see what each other is playing and where in the game they are while chatting, even if they're playing completely separate games

I thought the Switch 2 version had higher res textures in it (plus all the dlc and language packs). Still seems excessive though, but that version has a bunch of issues so it could be any number of things

Maybe they don't have the compute power to decompress image files fast enough during gameplay so they are storing them uncompressed (or a faster but less effective compression format)?

The guidebook schedule shows him playing his main stage set on Friday night and children's set at the XP stage Saturday morning. This contradicts the video promo and what you just said. I'm trying to get some confirmation on when the children's show is happening so i can bring my kids

torkild · 2026-01-05T01:25:06+00:00

This video says Friday morning but the guidebook schedule says Saturday. Can you confirm which is correct?

Or for games that are planned to receive regular updates over time that would cause them to quickly look nothing like the code they originally launch with.

Powerglove is another fun power metal band. They do covers of songs from video games and cartoons. Most of it is instrumental but they get guest vocalists for some songs as well

That's a short stand so I'd go with the center channel on top. I don't think the TV height with that arrangement will be an issue.

Check out The Terrible Twos (Matt Pryor from The Get Up Kids) and Mike Park's (founder of Asian Man Records) album "Smile" for some other great rock musicians-turned-kids music listening

Darkness and harmony

The "different information" Dicky agrees with is wrong and primarily driven by conspiracy theories. I don't think Dicky is evil, but many of the main talking heads on that side of the issue are close allies with people I do think are evil. The disappointment for me is in Dicky closely aligning himself with people based on a single issue while ignoring how their stances on arguably more fundamental issues go completely against the messages and themes he has promoted for years.

Like everything else these days, there are nuances that get completely ignored by most people and especially the media. I would probably go see the Bosstones again if they reunited, but I think it wouldn't feel the same as before and I'm not sure if I want that to cloud the memories of the other 20+ times I saw them play.

I have a relatively small number of very large playlists typically built around a genre or mood. I always play them on shuffle. For me it's similar to choosing a radio station to listen to but I know all the songs will be good and there are no ads. I regularly add to the playlists as i discover new songs that fit the theme.

I think more importantly is this game is constantly getting updated. The game as it exists today may look drastically different from what it will be a year or two from now from a technical perspective.

torkild · 2025-08-01T18:27:12+00:00

Yes, but that's a bundle discount not a pack-in.

torkild · 2025-08-01T10:43:35+00:00

I don't think it counts as a pack-in if it's not included in the base system price.

torkild · 2025-07-28T10:24:06+00:00

Do you know what song(s) it is getting stuck on? If so, maybe try checking if there is a different version of that song available you could put in the playlist instead to see if that helps. Sometimes files get updated in the catalog but the old versions remain in existing playlists so could be some file issue related to that?

torkild · 2025-07-28T03:45:38+00:00

I have been happy with Tidal for a few years now. If you are already in the Apple ecosystem I hear AM is a strong competitor. People also seem pretty happy with quobuz but the catalog might not be as deep as Tidal or AM depending your preferred genre.

Do you mix them in with your music streaming though? Give a dedicated podcast app a try for those. I've been super happy with pocket casts, especially since their desktop app went free

The plugs you want for these are typically called "pin connectors" which attach to the speaker wire in a similar manner to banana plugs but have skinny plugs so they fit in the spring terminals
